IPC: H03K19/173
Filed: 1991-05-23
Abstract: According to the present invention, during programming of a 
programmable logic device, programming in formation corresponding to an 
input signal is loaded into a shift register. This input information is 
compared with programming information corresponding to a second, 
complementary input signal to determine if the two signals are used by the 
programmable logic device. If the two inputs are not used, a bit is stored in a 
memory cell indicating such nonuse. An input buffer is disabled when the bit 
in the memory cell indicates the complementary signals corresponding to that 
input buffer are not used.

Abstract: A positive thermistor device includes a positive
thermistor element (35) having a pair of opposed
electrodes (38, 39), each of which receives compressive
force elastically applied from a corresponding one of
spring contact members (40, 43) to hold the thermistor
element (35) at a predefined position in the device. When
the thermistor device is destroyed, the element breaks
into fragments (63, 64) some of which remain in contact
with the spring contact members (40, 43). The remaining
fragments deviate in position to ensure that they do not
conduct electricity, resulting in an open state wherein
any current flow is inhibited through such fragments (63,
64).

Inventor: GREENWOOD BRIAN F
IPC: D21C7/14
Filed: 1991-05-15
Abstract: A continuous solvent pulping process is
practiced with oxygen free gas (e.g. nitrogen) purges
of all major treatment vessels (23, 24, 85, 103, 105)
during the time when the process is arrested or
terminated. The wood chips or other cellulosic
fibrous material to be pulped is steamed in a first
horizontal steaming zone (23) at a pressure of about
10-20 psi, and then in a second horizontal steaming
zone (24) at a pressure of about 20-75 psi. Gases,
including vaporized solvent (e.g. ethanol or other
alcohol) are vented (via 30, 36) from the steaming
zones, and solvent is added (at 39) to the steamed
material prior to feeding to a high pressure feeder
(11) . The high pressure feeder introduces the
material into the top of a single digesting vessel
(12), liquid and chips being separated at the top of
the digester vessel without mechanical means that
could cause a spark. Lignin containing liquid is
withdrawn from a central portion (14) of the digester
and passed through flash tanks (51-53) and ultimately
for lignin and alcohol recovery. Washing -- which
also may be practiced using solvent pulp from a batch
system -- is accomplished by first continuously
passing the pulp to a pressure diffuser (85), then to
a first multi stage drum displacer washer (103), and
then to a second multi stage drum displacer washer
(105).

IPC: H04N7/36
Filed: 1996-09-06
Abstract: Fractional pixel motion estimation of video signals is performed by
comparing a block of pixels from a current image of the video signal with a
plurality of displaced blocks within a search window from a
previous/future reference image of the video signal via a distortion
function. The displaced block from the reference image that produces the
minimum value for the distortion function provides a center pixel. A
general surface is fitted ( 12 ) around this center pixel so that it equals the
distortion function at each integer pixel location surrounding the center
pixel. The distortion function for the fitted surface is estimated ( 14 ) for
fractional pixel locations, and the motion vector corresponding to the
minimum value for the fractional distortion function is selected ( 16 ) for
transmission as part of the compressed video.

Abstract: A surface plasmon sensor comprises a prism, a
metal film, which is formed on one surface of the prism and
is brought into contact with a sample, and a light source
for producing a light beam. An optical system causes the
light beam to pass through the prism and to impinge upon
an interface between the prism and the metal film such that
various different angles of incidence may be obtained with
respect to the interface. A photodetector detects an
intensity of the light beam, which has been totally
reflected from the interface, with respect to each of the
various different angles of incidence. An electrode
stands facing the metal film with a liquid sample
intervening therebetween, and a DC voltage is applied
across the electrode and the metal film. A substance
contained in the liquid sample is thus analyzed quickly and
with a high sensitivity.

in an order opposed to the writing order. A switch (230) selects either one of
the information of the primary or secondary frame memories (229, 225).

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung dotierter
Polysiliciumschichten und -schichtstrukturen sowie ein
Verfahren zum Strukturieren derartiger Schichten und
Schichtstrukturen, welche Polysilicumschichten umfassen. Das
Dotierverfahren zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die Dotierverbindung

des Polysiliciums zugesetzt wird, deren Zufuhr zum Prozeßgas
jedoch gegen Ende der Gasphasenabscheidung gestoppt wird, so
daß eine Grenzschicht aus undotiertem Silicium abgeschieden
wird. Hierdurch wird eine günstige Oberflächenbeschaffenheit
und bessere Haftfähigkeit zu einer Nachbarschicht erreicht.
Das Strukturierungsverfahren umfaßt einen wenigstens dreistufigen
Ätzprozeß, bei welchem in einer ersten Stufe ein fluorhaltiges
Gas, in einer zweiten Stufe ein chlorhaltiges Gas
und in einer dritten Stufe ein bromhaltiges Gas zum Ätzen
verwendet wird.

Abstract: A diffractive spatial light modulator comprises an array of pixels (40)
which can be actively or passively addressed. Each pixel comprises a
material such as a ferroelectric liquid crystal addressed on one side by
interdigitated elongate first and second electrodes (3a, 3b). The
interdigitated electrodes are connected to an address signal generator,
such as a strobe signal generator (43) and a data signal generator (41, 42).
The address signal generator supplies signals which allow each pixel to be
switched to any one of a non-diffractive state and a plurality of different
diffractive states of different diffraction efficiencies. This may be achieved
by varying the diffraction grating mark/space ratios. Alternatively or
additionally, the individual interdigitated electrodes may be controlled so

Abstract: An apparatus and method for transferring a message from a calling party
to an unavailable telephonically called party. The method comprises the steps of
inititating a call to the called party over a communications channel, identifying that
the called party is not available and instructing the calling entity to record the
message at the calling entity and after recording to transmit the message to the
called entity as a data message via a data channel for reception by the called
entity. The system reduces the use of the voice/telephone communications
networks by allowing a voice message to be transmitted through data channels,
reducing the amount of voice traffic on the voice communication lines. The fact
that the original voice message was actually stored with the calling entity after the
telephone voice communication had been discontinued is transparent to both the
calling party and the called party. Greetings for the called party can be stored at a
messaging system of the calling entity.
